From: Blum, Joanne S. Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 5:00 PM Subject: HELP NEEDED - To Protect State Revenues
A Threat to Our Communities
A small group of individuals are threatening to jeopardize Massachusetts working families by seeking to qualify a number of initiative petitions. One these would reduce the sales tax which would cut state revenues by approximately $2.5 billion. This would result in cuts in our communities to education, health care, public safety and other programs that we all depend on every day. If you see or have seen any petitioners carrying this or other petitions in your community, please call THE PETITION HOTLINE
508-556-0796
We need your help in being able to track what’s really being circulated and where these petitions are being circulating. Basically, we need your help in being our eyes and ears on the ground in your community.
Petitioners usually go to grocery stores, libraries, events, and other places that YOU usually frequent. All we’re asking you to do is call the PETITION HOTLINE, if you see a petitioner anywhere in public. Again, that number is: PETITION HOTLINE:
508-556-0796
If you receive a voicemail please leave a detailed message including the time, date, and location of where you encountered a petitioner.
Thank you for your support and remember to think before you ink! KEEP the Hotline number with you – 508-556-0796.
Her email: JBlum@massteacher.org
Who is Joanne Blum? Does she work for the state?
Legal? Hell, in the State of Oregon, the government is now hiring PIs to track petitioners to catch them breaking any of the new initiative rules the Dems just rammed through. The Dem Party/SEIU/OEA owns Oregon lock, stock, & barrel, but they don’t like anyone even threatening to send legislation and tax increases to the peons for a vote. The corruption make me sick.
Ah, sleaze, thy name is democrat.

How could anything that cuts taxes in *assachusetts be a bad thing?
“working families” — codespeak for SWP, SEIU, ACORN, AFT, NEA, etc etc.
Massachusetts teachers union says....
“ALL YOUR MONIEZ THEY ARE BELONG TO US!”
I did a quick search on her. She was a lobbyist for NARAL a few years back and is now or recently was the governmental affairs director for...wait for it...the Massachusetts Teachers Association!
Big surprise. I guess this means if a rat calls the hotline SEIU thugs show up to beat the signature gatherer?
Why not keep them busy by calling them and reporting bogus information, sending them all over the place. Use different telephones and hoist them in their own petard!
“Free speech for me, but not for thee”.

She is always writing letters to the editor for the Boston Globe and the Globe usually goes to her for quotes on school relate news.
I am going to call the hotline and video tape what happens when the goons show up.
Sent the following message to Blum (from Idaho). Hope ti really gets their panties in a wad:
Hi; Couldn’t get through on the hotline...
We have a lot of partitioners, some with police guards, over here on Adam street.

(508) 556-0796
This number is a landline based in Worcester, MA and is unpublished.
A women answered the phone number; with the greeting hello, I’m not sure if this is legit.
Might want to be more specific like stating Adams street in Quincy, Milton or Dorchester. Every town has one.

This is an extension of the “spy on your neighbor” approach started by the muslim communist obama, when he asked Americas to “flag” those “spreading misinformation” on his “health” care proposals.
Later, the muzzie commie said that those “spreading misinformation” need “reeducation”.
They had “spy on your neighbor” programs in Nazi Germany, and in communist East Germany, Cuba, China, Vietnam, and the Soviet Union. Except for the Nazis, all of these regimes also ran brutal “reeducation” camps; the Nazis called their camps something else as we all know.
Of the above countries, neither Russia nor Germany have “spy on your neighbor” programs nor “reeducation” camps.
We are America, the “land of the free and the home of the brave”. Do we want to institute the evil totalitarian programs no longer practiced even in Russia and Germany, or do we want to reduce ourselves to the level of Third-World communist Cuba or Vietnam? That is the choice.
“I guess this means if a rat calls the hotline SEIU thugs show up to beat the signature gatherer?”
The purple people beaters.
Made up of Elected Officials ( all democrats )who were going to use their offices in connection of any alleged falsehoods told about 0bama.
It was a sign of things to come. How many times this year have we seen efforts from 0bama on down to crush legitimate descent.
This is another attempt by socialists calling for Americans to rat on their neighbors.
Did I wake up in NAZI Germany or the USSR this morning?
